One day, Mama Lam whipped up this dipping sauce for some roasted pork jowl. It was so good, and I knew I had to share the recipe. It's acidic, savoury, with a bit of heat. It's surprisingly refreshing, and reminds me of Thai or Vietnamese flavours. All it takes is 8 simple ingredients that you likely have at home all the time.
I was invited to the menu preview of the 2017 Taste of Yaletown. Organized by the Yaletown BIA and similar to Dine Out Vancouver, participating restaurants in Yaletown are offering a $25, $35, or $45 menu until Oct 27. At the preview event, I got to sample the menus at two restaurants, one of which was House Special, serving Modern Vietnamese cuisine.
We were invited to check out Vancouver Foodster's Kitsilano Brunch Crawl this past weekend, part of the Dine Out Vancouver Festival. It's similar to Tasting Plates, except it happens on a weekend morning, perfect timing for brunch. In 4 hours, we visited 6 restaurants in the neighbourhood.
